Is it possible to relocate the camera to the binded group without double-tap?

Question

I'm looking for an alternative to double-click in StarCraft 2. I would like a number key (or a custom key) to relocate the camera to the associated numbered group with just a single-click. Is it possible?

Answer 1

The only three methods I am aware of are

• Hit the number and then mouse-click at the unit portrait to center your screen over the selected unit/building
• Bind your control group keys to 2 hotkeys (Primary and Alternative hotkey) and hit both after each other
• Hit the hotkey for Center on Current selection (Ctrl+F by default)

Nevertheless, all ways would need 2 clicks or key presses anyway. But I think simple double-tapping is the fastest way to move your screen to a control group. Also you don't want your screen to move every time but only check what your group is doing, e.g. building or research progress.

Answer 2

In starcraft2 there are numerous ways to move your mouse:

• Double-Tap Stored Unit Selection Key
• Store Screen location (Shift + F5 saves - F5 then jumps to that location)
• Select Unit and click Portrait in bottom right.

None will center your screen above a Unit without at least two key presses. (Unless you own a programmable Keyboard where you could define macros that double-tap the key for you)
